Antipathy is not required for prejudice

Evidence

Representative national surveys documented a dramatic change from endorsement of racial segregation, discrimination, and the innate inferiority of Blacks to rejection of these practices and ideas (see Sears, ch. 21 this volume). However, Whites nonetheless often endorse beliefs denying that Blacks’ social and economic problems can be ascribed to external factors such as job discrimination, and ascribe them, implicitly or explicitly, to internal factors such as lack of motivation. Although such ideas have unfavorable implications for disadvantaged groups, they do not necessarily imply a generalized antipathy. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 181

Categorization

• XREF: Directly relevant to the reader’s vault: modern-racism distinction post-dates and chals Allport’s antipathy definition; corroborates the symbolic/modern racism thread.
• DEFINE: Defines the modern/symbolic racism shift as external-to-internal attribution.
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice: Fifty Years…, 181
